Generation after generation, there is a small habit that unites and connects us all: sitting around a table. And this custom survives intact over time. In Spain, a well-stocked table with friends and family is everyday life turned into tradition and memories. And always with one element that remains over time: bread.
Every July 16th, numerous coastal municipalities in Spain celebrate the Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, patroness of sailors, fishermen, and the Spanish Navy. The tradition, deeply rooted in towns along the Mediterranean, the Cantabrian Sea, and the Atlantic, originates from the devotion to the Virgin of Mount Carmel and has become one of the most emblematic religious festivities of the summer.
Conversations on a stairwell of neighbors in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. One of the residents made this comment when leaving the elevator. “When I left the office, on the street it seemed to me that we were in the apocalypse, the sky had a strange color, leaning towards brown,” he said.
What the watch says, is it gospel? To what extent should we take into account the measurements of health parameters that a smartwatch can provide?

The Congress of Deputies gave the green light last Tuesday to the royal decree that establishes an extra financing of 6.2 billion euros this year and 2027 to the dependency system managed by the autonomous communities.

The forest fire in Orés, in the Cinco Villas region of Zaragoza, remains active and, although work intensified during the night, the flames have practically doubled the level of affected hectares, which have increased from 7,600 last night to 12,000, according to initial estimates this Friday.
Since it was announced that Christopher Nolan’s next film after the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer (2023) would be an adaptation of the Odyssey, its development has been scrutinized with the precision of an archaeologist. The controversy surrounding the project matches its extraordinary artistic ambition, its monumental budget, and the enormous anticipation it has generated.

I am in Ithaca! It seems absurd, but here I am. I think of the friends with whom I believe the Odyssey is the most beautiful book in the world.” In September 1927, Carles Riba writes euphorically to Josep Maria de Sagarra while visiting Greece.
